“……Future in-laws?” At that time, Qiao Jinye’s brain went blank as his ears began buzzing.
The other party explained, “Brother Ye, you have been far too busy lately. The only times we are able to see you are on the TV screen, so it is no wonder you have no clue about Sister Dai being in a relationship. It has caused a sensation, I will tell you that. Aren’t I studying in the school opposite that of Sister Dai’s? Her affair has not only caused a sensation in Yanjing University but also several schools nearby! Let me tell you everything in detail……”
That was the first time Qiao Jinye heard of Jiang Dai’s “heroic deeds” of pursuing the Leading Billionaire Huo Rongshen.
The day before New Year’s Eve during his sophomore year, it was snowing in Yanjing.
It was so cold that day, yet Qiao Jinye’s heart chilled even further.
Even after he was done, that buddy of his was still feeling so excited. “Feeling surprised, Brother Ye? Back when we were in high school, so many liked Sister Dai, ranging from secret admirers to those who liked her openly. Yet, it never seemed as though she had placed any thoughts in this aspect. There were times where we guessed in private that she was into girls. That is why we seriously did not see this coming…… She was like an eminent and unapproachable flower that does not dabble in puppy love during her adolescence. Instead, she would take the initiative to take the first step when she encounters someone she likes. That’s our Sister Dai for you!”
With that, Qiao Jinye hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, he contacted his agent of that time, requesting to accept all the jobs they had turned down due to the Spring Festival. At this point, he had wanted to work overtime.

Through this, he had also found Jiang Dai’s Instagram account that she had created recently. Occasionally, she would share some pictures of themselves doing romantic things. Although she had never posted any couple pictures, she had taken a picture of them holding hands.
Even so, he was also able to pick up on that rancid romance across the screen.
Jiang Dai truly liked that successful man.
It turned out that he had never gotten to know Jiang Dai well enough. It was not that she did not want to date anyone, but rather, it was just that she had never met anyone she fancied. Apparently, she had always liked mature and steady businessmen who wore handmade tailored suits of high quality, like Huo Rongshen.
Qiao Jinye moodily brooded over this for a long time. Then one day, he had a sudden notion that he could not go on like this.
Instead, he should make his intentions known. Regarding the fact that he liked Jiang Dai, few people knew about it, let alone Jiang Dai herself.
Putting on his sunglasses and a black face mask, Qiao Jinye made his way to Yanjing University. He simply wished to see her and profess his love for her, even at the risk of her rejection.
During that time, Jiang Dai was just about to enter her third year in university. Not only that, but her relationship was also in the honeymoon phase. So, Huo Rongshen was here to pick her up in a Rolls-Royce EWB1 Extended Wheelbase .
Dressed in a brightly colored dress, Jiang Dai boarded the car at the university campus’ back entrance, embracing and kissing that man in a suit happily.
There, that loveliness and sweetness on her face was something Qiao Jinye had never seen before.
This person was no longer the girl whom he knew.
At that moment, the heart of a certain famous young man shattered into a million pieces.
It would never be the same again.
……
Jiang Dai did not notice the extent of shock her buddy was experiencing at the sight of her b*stard ex-husband’s arrival.
While eating some baked vegetable frittata, she merely cast a glance at Huo Rongshen.
“Tsk. Isn’t it 34 degrees out there today? Don’t you feel warm when you are dressed this way?”
Upon hearing that, not only was Huo Rongshen not angry, but his lips curved up in a wisp of a smile. “Thank you for your concern, Miss Jiang, but no, I do not feel warm.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, question marks surrounded Jiang Dai’s head. Who the h*ll was concerned about him?! Was this man hard of hearing or had issues with his EQ? Could he not tell that she was being sarcastic?!?!?!
The more Jiang Dai looked at him, the more disgusted she felt.
The temperature had been becoming much warmer as of late, and it did not help that she had the physique to fear both the heat and cold. Whenever it was summer, there were countless complicated dress designs which she loved, but the more stylish the clothes were, the thicker the fabric would be. Even if she were in an air-conditioning room with an 18 degrees setting, she would still feel hot.
That was why she was truly jealous at the sight of Huo Rongshen, who was a grown man yet possessed flesh of ice and jade of bones2 The author is trying to describe how resistant Huo Rongshen is when it comes to the cold. .
Watching him peer around the room, Jiang Dai was certain that he was commenting inwardly on the furnishing style she implemented on her new villa.
As such, she rolled her eyes and stated, “Don’t you have some business matters to speak with me? So, just spit it out.”
With that, Huo Rongshen helped himself to a seat on the opposite sofa, as his profound gaze seemed trained on Qiao Jinye.
Soon after, he regained his composure and explained, “It isn’t really of any business matters, but rather, personal matters. Last night, I visited both mum and dad. It seems that dad is in good shape, and mum had me stay for dinner. Not only that, they seem very worried at the mention of your current situation as they were afraid that you are not used to living alone. Hence, I came to visit you on their behalf.”
Upon hearing that, Jiang Dai warned, “……Huo Rongshen, shouldn’t you take note of the way you address them?”
After saying so, she contorted her face in displeasure as waves of irritation surged forth and filled her heart to the brim in an instant.
Huo Rongshen actually went to her house last night? Her parents even let him stay for dinner? Were they possessed in some way?
On the other hand, Huo Rongshen acted very modestly. “Oh, I’m sorry. I’m far too used to addressing them this way, and I’ve forgotten to change it. Uncle and Auntie will be fine, right?”
Pressing her fingers against her brows, Jiang Dai questioned, “What did you and my parents talk about?”
Huo Rongshen answered, “It was mainly to understand Uncle’s current physical condition. He may seem fearless on the surface, but that is only due to him regarding himself as the head of the family. That is why he can’t make himself appear overly anxious before you and Auntie. Whenever one has fallen ill, the greatest pressure is always placed upon the patient himself. Hence, I had a chat with him to set his mind at ease. It appears that he is worried most about you.”
